Question 1 – Choose the correct answer. (15 Marks)

1. Encoding has a transition at the middle of each bit.

a. RZ
b. Manchester
c. Differential Manchester
d. All the above

2. Which of the following encoding methods does not

provide for synchronization (for sequences of 1s and 0s)?
a. NRZ-L
b. RZ
c. NRZ-I
d. Manchester

3. Which encoding method uses alternating positive and negative values for
1s?
a. NRZ-I
b. RZ
c. Manchester
d. AMI

4. Conversion involves three techniques: line coding, block

coding, and scrambling.
a. Analog-to-digital
b. Digital-to-analog
c. Analog-to-analog
d. Digital-to-digital
5. In decoding a digital signal, the receiver calculates a running average
of the received signal power, called the
a. baseline
b. base
c. line
d. none of the above
6. The rate defines the number of data elements sent in 1s; the
rate is the number of signal elements sent in 1s.
a. data; signal
b. signal; data
c. baud; bit
d. none of the above

7. The signal rate is sometimes called the rate.

a. baud
b. bit
c. signal
d. none of the above

8. In a scheme, all the signal levels are on one side of the time axis,
either above or below.
a. polar
b. bipolar
c. unipolar
d. all of the above

9. In schemes, the voltages are on the both sides of the time axis.
For example, the voltage level for 0 can be positive and the voltage
level for 1 can be negative.
a. polar
b. bipolar
c. unipolar
d. all of the above

10. The idea of RZ and the idea of NRZ-L are combined into the
scheme.
a. Manchester
b. differential Manchester
c. both (a) and (b)
d. neither (a) nor (b)
11. In encoding, the duration of the bit is divided into two halves.
The voltage remains at one level during the first half and moves to the
other level in the second half. The transition at the middle of the bit
provides synchronization.
a. Manchester
b. differential Manchester
c. both (a) and (b)
d. neither (a) nor (b)

12. In there is always a transition at the middle of the bit, but

the bit values are determined at the beginning of the bit. If the next bit
is 0, there is a transition; if the next bit is 1, there is none.
a. Manchester
b. differential Manchester
c. both (a) and (b)
d. neither (a) nor (b)

13. In , the level of the voltage determines the value of the bit.
a. NRZ-I
b. NRZ-L
c. both (a) and (b)
d. neither (a) nor (b)

14. In Manchester and differential Manchester encoding, the

transition at the middle of the bit is used for .
a. bit transfer
b. baud transfer
c. synchronization
d. none of the above

15. A digital signal includes timing information in the

data being transmitted.
a. self-synchronizing
b. self-modulated
c. self-transmitted
d. none of the above
Question 2: For the bit stream 1100110, sketch the waveforms for each of the
following codes: (a) NRZ-L. Assume, the signal level of preceding bit is positive
voltage. (b) Multi- level Bipolar AMI - Assume, the most recent bit 1 is represented
by negative voltage. (c) Manchester. (d) Differential Manchester - Assume, the
signal level of preceding bit is negative voltage. (10 Marks)
Question 3: Suppose the waveform below comes from Manchester encoded binary
data stream. Extract timing information and give the data binary sequence.(5 Marks)

Question 4: A signal is carrying data in which one data element is encoded as one
signal element. If the bit rate is 100 kbps, what is the average value of the baud rate
if c is assumed as 1/2? (5 Marks)

Answer:

S=c*N*(1/r)=> ½*100000*1 => 50000 = 50 kbaud
